Given that Squarewarts is an AU RP that takes place in a school, we decided to try and set up guidelines for what is okay and what isn't concerning violence, destruction, injuries and special abilities/items at Hogwarts. Basically, it has to do with all most of the stuff that has the potential to get characters in a lot of trouble.

Each section has guidelines for what requires permission and what does not. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the mods at squarewarts@gmail.com.

Violence, Damage & Injuries at HogwartsBeing a school of magic, stuff getting damaged isn't hard to imagine, and neither is the occasional scuffle and potential injuries. For the most part, players are free to do whatever with their characters, within reason, though if we feel that players are abusing this, we will review this policy or take action on a case by case basis.

Permission is required if the violence/damage/injuries:

❧ Occur in a high traffic area. For example: Common Rooms, Great Hall❧ Involve Extreme Destruction. For example: reducing walls to rubble, demolishing the grounds.❧ Involve injuries that require medical attention from on of the nurses or a medic. (Though we have gifted and dedicated medical students in Squarewarts, going to them is NOT a way around the nurse/medic rule.) For example: broken bones, lots of bleeding, bad burns.❧ Has the potential to effect 5+ characters. For example: anti-muggleborn graffiti on walls, fights/duels in a crowded area.

If you aren't sure where something falls in regard to these policies, contact us or we may have to freeze the log while we contact you. That said, we do understand that during logs somethings things escalate beyond expectations. This is okay, as long as you contact us about it.

If your character has a special ability that involves destroying things in order to master control, we're going to go ahead and assume there are training grounds for that sort of thing.

This system relies on players not abusing it, so please don't have your character constantly getting injured, etc.

Only one person involved in the log need reply to this post, as long as everyone involved is mentioned in their permission request.

Special Abilities, Weapons and ItemsIn order for your character to have a special ability, weapon or item, you MUST get mod permission. To do this, you fill in one of the following forms. You can have your character use this ability/weapon/item at Hogwarts whenever you like, so long as you keep our general standard for violence/destruction/injuries in mind (see above). Please also remember that if your character involves control or making assumptions of other peoples characters, you must get their permission so as not to godmod.

BEFORE YOU FILL IN THE SPECIAL ABILITIES FORM, PLEASE CHECK OUR BRANCHES OF MAGIC PAGE.This page could make adapting the power you have in mind to fit in Squarewarts much easier!

Weapons & Special Items at HogwartsIf your character has a weapon or any sort of special item (secretly or otherwise) at school, we would like you to fill in this form so that we can have a record of who has what in their possession. This will include an IC section so that we can determine who has such possessions secretly, and who does not, especially following the attack on the school.

Please note that you character may only have a weapon at school if they have a canon weapon that they are likely to have with them at all times. Firearms will be accepted for staff members only.

Special Abilities & Powers at HogwartsAs with weapons and special items, many of the characters at Hogwarts canonically have remarkable powers which are important to their characterization and development through their canon. Some of these would translate very well to the Harry Potter world; for example, mind reading could be interpreted as legilimency, while a shapeshifter could be an animagus or a metamorphmagus. Some powers are not so straightforward.

As indicated in the rules, any special ability or power, or if a character is not human, requires mod permission. The same goes for if your character acquires an extraordinary power over the course of the game.

Please fill in this form if you character has a power/ability/etc. Even if you have already had this mod approved we would like a record here just to make sure we are all on the same page and to assure that we all can understand different characters abilities.

While we may approve a special ability and/or weapon now, if we find they are being abused then we reserve the right to issue a warning, and will, if necessary, withdraw approval for that power and/or weapon.

Canon Ability/Power: He is bound to Ciel by a contract allowing the child to order him around to his hearts content. Oh, and Sebastian is very agile allowing him to run at abnormally fast speeds, as well as cook&clean to the point of perfection, .. although I am not sure the latter counts as being a special ability. &on a final note, Sebastian is incredibly skilled in the art of knife&fork throwing. He tends to use his kitchen utensils as weapons, should the need so arise.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? This is his purpose. He is to help Ciel attain his desired goal, no matter the cost. Until that goal is reach, Sebastian is to protect&serve him.

What does it do? / How does it work? Whenever his Master utters the phrase, " this is an order " or " that was an order " Sebastian is obliged to obey, no matter what. It is his duty to help his Master fulfill his goal. For the rest of his abilities, they will just be used to help the school. Cleaning ahoy!

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? If possible, as is.

How will you be limiting this power? Somewhat. It is a school after all, so Ciel will hardly have the need to order him to do anything outrageous, but whatever orders are issued, as mentioned earlier Sebstian must follow them. But the boy knows right from wrong, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Do other characters know about this power? Ciel, obviously. Grell knows about the two of them as well. No one else though~ although people are allowed to get suspicious of the two of them.

Canon Ability/Power: Transformation, Ability to sense other creatures/beings, Shinigami speed/strength. He is extremely fast when given the incentive, ie: Sebastian is barely able to keep up with him during a canon fight and he has abnormal strength, able to wield a heavy chainsaw as if light as air, picking up items that a normal huma would have difficulty with.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? Grell often uses his Transformation to slip in and out of his butler/human role. Often using it as a means of hiding or "acting", Grell will not hesitate to slip into this role. It is important to my character as well, because I had planned to incoorporate into his acting skills. ie: Theatre Arts Class, as he is a professor for it.

What does it do? / How does it work? During his Transformation, he goes basically from red to black, and black to red. In his red form(professor/shinigami) he is decked in red. red hair, golden green eyes, sharp teeth, fake eyelashes, heels. And while in the black(human/butler) his hair is long black, but not excessively wild as seen in red, rather straight and long. His eyes are golden. His teeth are like a humans, non sharp, and his facial features along with the rest of him are increasinly thin. All of his clothes when turning to black are all black in an instant.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? Transfiguration. Being as that is what is required along with Charms to take his class, I figured he is able to modify his body to fit this butler role. To Grell, it is considered being an "Actress" in canon.

How will you be limiting this power? I don't plan him to be able to transform into anything else besides this butler/human role. As in canon he never changes into anything else.

Do other characters know about this power? Only Sebastian, Ciel, and Madame Red(if we ever get one). Anyone that went to school with him, most likely the headmaster as well. It won't take long until everyone knows. As I tend to have him slip in and out at times, depending on his moods.

Anything else? While in his butler form, he is extremely clumsy, panicky, and bashful/shy. It is almost be like a second personality, yet not, because he is aware of what he is doing. It's all part of his "acting"

misplacedqueen on February 10th, 2010 05:59 am (UTC)/posts the Special Ability like the mods requested =3

Character name: Alyss Heart

Canon Ability/Power: Imagination. No, seriously.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? Imagination is to Wonderland what Magic is to Hogwarts. Everything in Wonderland runs on Imagination, and it's how ideas and inventions are passed through to the earth realm. Alyss's Imagination is the strongest one ever recorded in her country, and it's what helps her defeat her Aunt Redd to reclaim her throne.

What does it do? / How does it work? Um. It's basically what imagination is. Whatever she imagines, happens, forms, etc.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? It'd be like a form of inherit magic, specific to the inhabitants of Wonderland. And wordless. It's based on thought rather than spells.

How will you be limiting this power? LMAO. Okay, it would be on serious limitations. It's a very godmod ability, but she could have restrictions placed on it so that it only allows her to create things. If there was an instance where she nudged an event or character in some way, I would definitely make sure that I had the permission of the muns beforehand, and the mods, if it was particularly needed. However, the nudge would be extremely minute, like... Pushing someone out of the way so they aren't harmed or something? And if she had limitations placed on her, it could end up tiring her out a little bit, so she couldn't do it often.

Do other characters know about this power? More than likely, yes. She wouldn't hide it, and Alyss can be a bit of a show off.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? I want to bring this into the game because of what it could mean for Catty. During canon event, she received memories where she had the ability to time travel, and since the magic is available here, it would be something she'd want to study. Her gift was something that marked her as a goddess in canon, so it's a big part of who Catty really is.

What does it do? / How does it work? Well, she kind of concentrates and the hands on her watch begins to move and a tunnel opens and she gets sucked into it... And she can travel in time! \0/ Not very far, actually. She can only make very short leaps at one time.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? She'll just be beginning to learn Time Magic, but I figure because of her canon power, she'd at least have an affinity for it. No tunnels. =C

How will you be limiting this power? She'll just have started studying the magic in Hogwarts, so she pretty much isn't going to know anything at all. Knowledge is her limitation.

Do other characters know about this power? Uh. I don't think she's really talked about her canon power... Except for maybe her closest friends? And even then, it's just a memory brought on by a spell, but I'm sure she'll tell people about her new area of studying.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? In the manga, she always dresses and travels as a boy, even (especially) around her friends. She does this because a friend recommended she travel as a boy, which was safer and easier to hide her identity from and the Elite Four. Because she meets a lot of people while introducing herself as a boy, including her ~love interest~, at the end of the plot she decides not to give up the disguise. Besides, she thinks keeping up the charade is fun.

What does it do? / How does it work? She pulls it off, basically, by...wearing a hat. Really. That's it. It's to disguise her long ponytail, which she doesn't cut for some reason. She's very tiny and underdeveloped, which is why she can still pass as male even at fourteen so long as nobody sees her hair.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? Pretty much exactly the same as above. One minor change would be that the hat would be charmed to stick to her head at all times, and she would have to periodically recast the spell to avoid it wearing off and revealing her ponytail. If possible, she'd sleep in the fourth-year boy's dorms (with the NPCs) and presumably just wear her hat to sleep at night. (It's canon.)

How will you be limiting this power? Um. Well, she's not perfect at it. If a really perceptive/observant character were to hang around Yellow long enough, they'd probably figure it out, and I'm not closed to the option of that happening so long as the muns let me know first.

Do other characters know about this power? Just fifth-year Blue Watchet, who gave her the hat, and maybe Silver if she told him about it.

Anything else? That should do it!

Character name: Yellow Caballero

Canon weapon/Item: A cuddly Raticate named Ratty

Specific properties/abilities: It's a Pokemon, so it knows attacks and stuff.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? Pretty much the same as the other pokemon. It would be chilling in Yellow's dorm while she's in class.

Why do you want them to have this weapon/item at school? Ratty was Yellow's first pokemon and dearest friend, and she would be heartbroken to have to come to Hogwarts without him. He's very tame and wouldn't hurt another student unless there were extreme circumstances.

IC – Only applies if you wish the item to be school approved

Name: Yellow Caballero

Year/Position: Fourth

Item/Weapon: He's NOT a weapon!!! But it's my Raticate, Ratty.

Why do you wish to have this weapo/itemn on the school grounds? He's my best friend and I know he's a little bigger than some of the other pokemon, but just because he's evolved doesn't mean he's any different! I thought he was sort of scary at first when he evolved but he's not, he's still the same and very friendly and nice. I promise he would never hurt ANYONE. Unless they were hurting someone.

I, Yellow Caballero, solemnly swear that if I am granted permission to have Ratty on school grounds, that it he will be used responsibly and never to the detriment of staff or students.

Canon Ability/Power: Her Exquip/Requip magic, otherwise known as "The Knight."

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? Erza's ability to requip into armor is a really integral part of her character. The very reason her magic developed the way it did was because she feels unsafe outside of her armor.

In SW this is toned down because she's in a safer environment, but this particular aspect of her magic is a defining part of who she is.

What does it do? / How does it work? Um, gee. Exquip/Requip works in that it allows a magic user to quickly change the form of their weapons at a moment's notice. There are Exquip users who can change their guns from pistols to rifles, for instance, and Erza's Edoras alternate can change her spear, The Ten Commandments, using this form of magic.

To date, Erza is the only known user of this magic who can change into different armors as well as weapons, and so her unique Exquip is known as "The Knight." It's also the reason she earned the nickname "Titania Erza." In addition, she's able to change clothing at a moment's notice, and seems to have a full wardrobe in her...reserves, so to speak. This ability does take innate magical power, and it is not unlimited -- Erza can only hold a select amount of armor/weapons/clothing in her reserves -- the rest is stored in her room.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? If possible, I would like to make it a form of wandless Transfiguration. She's been working on it since before she started school, so she's pretty adept at it.

How will you be limiting this power? Oh lmao jesus. UH. WELL for one:

- She does not have over 9000 over 100 armors in her possession like it is in canon. I'd say for the sake of not blowing up the school she only has about six. I'd like her to keep the following armor, if possible:

- Heart Kreuz Armor (her default; has no actual powers)- Heaven's Wheel Armor (the one with...all the swords and whatnot -- the max amount of swords she can summon with this will be dropped from 200 to like...50 and lmao she will barely use this armor because it's a godmod. It will more than likely exhaust her as well.)- Black Wing Armor (The armor with the wings and whatnot; increases physical strength)- Fire Emperor Armor (reduces damage against fire attacks)- Robe of Yuen (It's elastic, comes equipped with a bisento and boosts her magic/physical power, but mostly because HAY GURL HAY)- Her adorable pajamas. They do nothing, but they are adorable.

Do other characters know about this power? I imagine so. She makes it no secret.

Anything else? Not that I can think of, but I am totes willing to reduce this further/tone it down if so. It's nothing I'll be using much for her, just...it's a huge part of her character, yes.

Specific properties/abilities: Well, it's pretty much identical to her original eye, with the exception that it does not absorb spells. This has come up a lot of times -- when she and the other Fairy Tail ladies were turned into stone by Evergreen, she was able to break the spell in half the time due to the magic only absorbing through one eye.

She is able to differentiate illusions from truth if she closes her left eye and only looks at the illusion through her right, as seen in the battle against Midnight.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? As is, if possible. It obviously wouldn't help her against a Killing Curse, but perhaps it would make illusory magic less effective against her.

Why do you want them to have this weapon/item at school? Erza lost her right eye canonically, and ingame, due to being beaten near to death in the Tower of Paradise. It was replaced by a mage specializing in healing magic. It's not as important as her Exquip but it is an important part of her character.

Why do you wish to have this weapon/item on the school grounds?

I, [NAME], solemnly swear that if I am granted permission to have [SPECIFY ITEM] on school grounds, that it will be used responsibly and never to the detriment of staff or students.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? Sam has had this ability (or curse) since he was younger. It plays a detrimental part to how Sam feels about his first girlfriend's death-- since he dreamt about it before it ever happened, Sam is convinced he could have saved her. Occasionally, Sam's forsight also helped the brothers when they were hunting, letting them know where to go to help people and aiding Sam in stopping deaths before they happened.

(It's also the excuse we used to get the boys to come to Hogwarts-- Sam had a nightmare that demonic/dark activity was going on in the school.)

What does it do? / How does it work? It's a passive talent-- Sam cannot control it. It used to come to him peacefully in his dreams, but lately it's been happening while he's awake, giving him intense migrains and bright flashes of a vision behind his eyes. Usually it has to do with demonic activity, and it's been stronger since he took to drinking unicorn blood.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? People with visions are a part of Harry Potter canon, if extremely rare. Sam's ability with visions is pretty clear-cut, and is a result of dark magics-- like drinking unicorn blood.

How will you be limiting this power? It happens very rarely, and the things Sam sees do not HAVE to come to pass. It's also completely out of Sam's control as to when he gets a vision and who and where it features. Also, Sam's stopped drinking unicorn blood, so his visions have faded for the most part. He may have a relapse in the future, but right now he's doing okay.

Do other characters know about this power? Dean does. Possibly Castiel. No one else.

Anything else? Gumdrops I think that covers about everything. Sam would try to keep his ability a secret in the school, hoping no one finds out about it.

Character name:Lucy HearphiliaCanon Ability/Power:Summon MagicWhy do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character?It is an important part of Lucy's background as her relationship with her spirits is one of her defining characteristics and allows for more diverse and amusing plots because of the interactions between her highly dysfunctional summons and the rest of the school. Said dysfunctions also keep it from being over powered or just for the sake of showing how awesome she is, since using it is more likely to embarrass her than anything.What does it do? / How does it work?Basically she uses magic keys to open a portal between the mortal world and the spirit world to summon spirits with whom she has formed contracts. The spirits can only be summoned at a certain part of the week for a certain timeHow will this be translated to Hogwarts?I will have her spirit summoning be a branch of summon magic, just with spirits who have an exclusive contract with her familyHow will you be limiting this power?Lucy can only summon spirits on certain days for short stretches of time, she will not have access to all her spirits at once because she is not skilled enough to have them all yet, and to start she will only be able to summon one at a time. Also her spirits have their own personalities and thus don't always do what she wants them to do...actually they very rarely do what she wants them to do.Do other characters know about this power?Yes, most likely

Here are the summons she starts with:Gold Keys:Aquarius: (summonable only on Wednesdays) A mermaid, Aquarius is capable of performing powerful water attacks such as tidal waves and is easily Lucy’s strongest spirit after Loki. However, her use is limited by two major factors. The first is that she can only be summoned in the presence of large bodies of water, and the second is that she is highly temperamental and may refuse to follow orders if irritated (which isn’t hard to do). Furthermore, even when she does follow orders her attacks in no way distinguish between friend and foe, and so they always hit Lucy as well as her opponent.

Taurus: (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday). A powerful anthropomorphic bull, Taurus is physically the most powerful of Lucy’s summons and fights with a massive axe. He is also a complete letch who has yet to win a battle because he is always being distracted by breasts and sexually harassing Lucy.

Cancer: (Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday) a sharp dressed man with hair styled like pincers coming out of the top of his head and extra crab legs emerging from his back, Cancer wields a pair of scissors, and his main role is to maintain Lucy’s hair and makeup. Although he does have some combat uses, those are restricted to cutting off opponent’s hair, and he is terrible at assessing situations, generally thinking he is being summoned to give a haircut.

Virgo: (Monday through Saturday) A petite maid with pink hair and shackles around her wrists, Virgo has the power of Diver magic, which lets her burrow underground at extreme speeds, passing through most surfaces like they are water. She also can change her appearance to suit the needs of her current master, and can summon herself when Lucy’s power is low. One interesting quirk is that she asks if she should be punished whenever she does something, right or wrong, and when she first appeared asked if she should call Lucy her dominatrix based on Lucy’s whip. The implications of this are best left to the more unsavory parts of the Internet.

Silver Keys:Horologium: (Monday through Saturday) A giant clock, he can tell the time anywhere on the planet, and when inside him the summoner is protected from most external effects, but he has to relay anything they say to those outside. He has no offensive capabilities.Lyra: (Every second Wednesday and third Thursday and Friday of the month) a girl with a bonnet, wings, and a heart patterned dress, she has no combat abilities, but is knowledgeable about magic and a beautiful magician and singer.Crux: (unknown) a floating old man with a cross-shaped head (Again, I promise none of this is made up), he is very knowledgeable about Celestial spirits, and can provide information on them. He also tends to fall asleep a lot.Nikora: (Anytime) A weird tiny white thing with a carrot for a nose, Nikora can’t actually talk other than to say Plue, and most people call him that. He’s basically just a pet and has no special abilities.

Canon weapon / item: H. E. L. P. eR.Specific properties / abilities: Helper is a robot built for the purpose of playing Nanny. He is quite capable of handling himself in a fight though, but even then, his years of neglect make him only somewhat useful. He is equipped with an array of weapons, most of which hardly function, as well as a grappling hook arm &thermal vision. He mainly just follows the boys around beeping nonsense .. although all the Ventures, as well as Brock, seem to understand him.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? I think it should be able to translate as is. Helper is a robot and in the modern world there are robots so bringing one to school shouldn't be too big a problem. I hope.

Why do you want them to have this weapon / item at school? Hank is quite death prone, and without constant supervision, well .. He might very well find a way to blow up, or spontaneously die. Helper is also a big part Hank's life since both he, and his brother, were never given the chance to make friends.

IC – Only applies if you wish the item to be school approved

Name: Hank VentureYear: 6th.

Item/Weapon: H. E. L. P. eR.Why do you wish to have this weapon / item on the school grounds? I can't leave poor Helper at home! &besides, without Brock, the family bodyguard, I'll have nobody to look out for me. Helper can do that and then some!

I, HANK VENTURE, solemnly swear that if I am granted permission to have H. E. L. P. eR. on school grounds, that it will be used responsibly and never to the detriment of staff or students.

We were wondering if we might be able to brainstorm this with you a bit, since technically robots wouldn't be able to work on school grounds; the magic tends to make electronics a bit worthless in canon. Could it perhaps be a sort of magical device with essentially the same things going on, or maybe a personal moogle?

Specific properties/abilities: Hikaru’s sword, was crafted by the top weapon’s smith in Cephiro using the rare mineral Escudo only found in the fountain of Eterna. The sword evolves with it’s wielder as they improve and strengthen their abilities and most importantly their heart.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? Just a sword that looks like the final evolution (seen above).

Why do you want them to have this weapon/item at school? In canon, Hikaru is almost never without it.

IC – Only applies if you wish the item to be school approvedName: Hikaru Shidou

Year/Position: 3rd

Item/Weapon: Sword

Why do you wish to have this weapo/itemn on the school grounds? In order to maintain the skills I’ve learned via assisting at the family dojo.

I, Hikaru Shidou, solemnly swear that if I am granted permission to have my sword on school grounds, that it will be used responsibly and never to the detriment of staff or students.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? Flame Arrow was the first spell Hikaru ever used in canon. For that reason I’d like to maintain it as the first one she learned in the game world. She has a personal connection to it, and it would indicate that she had a leaning toward fire magic and spells. and because her spells are few and wicked awesome

What does it do? / How does it work? By shouting the incantation (Flame Arrow) bands of fire encircle her, after a short series of motions, the wielder shoots an arrow-shaped band of fire at their intended target.

Ruby Lightning: Again the wielder must say the incantation only this time, lightning of a red hue springs forth, toward the intended target. This is a stronger attack that is capable of covering a larger area.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? I thought they would fit nicely into Elemental Magic and Spell Creation. Ruby lightning I intend to bring about later as Hikaru is only in her 3rd year. Preferably after more training and experience is completed..

How will you be limiting this power? As I see it, they don’t really need to be limited as they fit so neatly into those aforementioned categories.

Do other characters know about this power? Anyone whose seen her use them. They’re not a secret.

Characters to be involved in violence/destruction: Ilforte GranzWhat will be happening?: Ilforte "getting reacquainted" with his brother... with his fist.Where will this be happening?: Szayel's room.Injuries to be incurred: Sword injuries, bruises, burns... we're not entirely sure yet, but Szayel won't be happy after.

Reasons for doing this: Szayel's the reason Ilforte's life has been hell for the past few years.Will there be intervention from a staff member? If so, who? No.Anything extra? Maybe some damage to Szayel's room as well. >:

prfctpotions on May 14th, 2010 12:15 am (UTC)May as well do this now, before I forget

Character name: Szayel Aporro Granz

Canon weapon/Item: Fornicarás, Szayel's sword

Specific properties/abilities: At first glance, Szayel's sword appears to be just a normal sword. However, by saying "Imbibe, Fornicarás" and swallowing the sword, he is able to return to a form akin to what he was like when he was just a normal Hollow in canon.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? Same as Ilforte's sword; a special type of transfiguration in conjunction with his wand, though Szayel's form is incomplete, unlike his brother's, and he retains most of his human features... w-with the exception of TENTACLES. He does not like this form (because it's imperfect) and rarely uses it unless necessary.

Why do you want them to have this weapon/item at school? l-lol to protect himself from his brother. He will be sending away for this AFTER the first time Ilforte kicks the crap out of him.

IC – Only applies if you wish the item to be school approved(He would make sure this was private to Cid)Name: Szayel Aporro Granz

Position: Potions Master

Weapon: Fornicarás

Why do you wish to have this weapon on the school grounds? My brother has unfortunately made this necessary for my own protection. It is my intent to keep damage (and any unwanted revelations of our past) to a minimum.

I, Szayel Aporro Granz, solemnly swear that if I am granted permission to have Fornicarás on school grounds, that it will be used responsibly and never to the detriment of staff or students.

Why do you want to bring this into the game? /How is it important to your character? Because Ilforte's going to beat the ever living shit out of him if he doesn't have a better way to defend himself. XD

This is important to Szayel because it is something he was blessed with as an Espada. Normally, he would avoid using this, which is why he left his sword in his personal home. Unfortunately, Ilforte is going to make it necessary.

What does it do? / How does it work? Szayel's Fornicarás form is his "true form," or rather, a form resembling what he was when he was a mere Hollow. This form give him access to all of his special abilities in canon and makes him the object of bad porn everywhere.

How will this be translated to Hogwarts? Like Ilforte, this is a special kind of transfiguration given to Szayel by his former master. Unlike Ilforte, however, the transformation is incomplete -- his lower half becomes a nest of tentacles and he acquires rather useless wings, but not much else. Because of the imperfection of the form, Szayel dislikes it greatly.

How will you be limiting this power? Szayel personally detests it, and believes it would reveal too much about his past. He won't use it unless Ilforte forces him.

Do other characters know about this power? Only Ilforte and possibly Cid, though Szayel is likely to tell Sebastian about it.
